1 day in Venice, heading out on cruise ship from Trieste - need a hotel and help with transportation

My 3 teens and I will be flying into VCE (Venice airport) in the morning of June 10, 2025 and will be boarding our cruise on June 11 in the mid afternoon. We are looking for a hotel that makes sense for our family. We want to take the day of June 10 to see the sites of Venice, get some dinner, etc. The next day will be spent getting to the cruise port at Trieste. (We will each have a roller bag and a backpack).

Can anyone suggest a good hotel(s) for us that would be close for us to see some sites, but would also make sense given we are coming into the airport and needing to get to the cruise ship the next day.

Also, recommendations on what type of transportation is most affordable and efficient would be very much appreciated.

I would suggest that you stay at a hotel near Piazzale Roma or the train station.

Airport bus from the Airport to P. Roma is easy and cheap. We stayed at the Hotel Olimpia which is less than 4 min walk from bus stop. The next day you can walk 600 meters, 10-15 minutes, over the big Constitution Bridge to the train station to catch a train to Trieste. Give yourself at least 2.5 hours to get to Trieste.
